Hiking/Walks

We delayed this from May 19th due to the weather.  It should be nice on Memorial Day. Lulumahu falls is 2.5 miles in and out trail and is one of the beautiful waterfalls in oahu. This trail is very muddy. We will cross streams in few places. Although it is a short trail, it is considered moderate / intermediate level. However i consider it a beginner trail. High Chances of getting wet. One can get in the water, swim, play in the falls etc. Be prepared if you are choosing to do so. Good shoes is a must. Bring lots of water. Shouldn't take more than 2 hrs to complete the hike. We will meet in the parking lot at 9 am Parking - park in the area allocated at the corner of Pali hwy and nuuanu Pali drive. Parking is limited so try to carpool. Do not leave any valuables in the car. Gee will be the lead (ie, she will be in front of everyone) & I (Terry) will be the sweeper/follow (ie, I will make sure that everyone is in front of me). You should make sure that you are between us, hopefully with eyes on one […]

"The Lanikai Pillbox hike is located in Kailua, about 30 minutes northeast of Honolulu, on the east side of the island. The hike takes you up the Ka’iwa Ridge (another name for the trail) and has expansive views of both Lanikai and Kailua beach below, the Mokulua Islands, and the whole east side of Oahu. And while the hike is amazing because of the views, it’s also pretty cool because of what you hike to: a couple of colorful, graffiti covered pillboxes. These two pillboxes were originally built in 1943 and used as observation stations for incoming enemy ships. If you want to get technical, these pillboxes aren’t technically pillboxes. In military terms, pillboxes are created to be affixed with weapons. These observation points were not designed to have weapons and were only meant for observation. But we can confidently say they accomplish their goal even to this day!" "The trailhead is located on Kaelepulu Drive, blocks from Lanikai Beach. You will walk up a path right next to a private driveway (there is a sign to tell you where to go) to start the trail."  We will meet at the trailhead at 9AM. Good shoes is a must. Bring […]
